Amazing! "Trump's travel and immigration ban" wouldn't have kept out the 9/11 terrorists.

True.
But it sure makes terror attacks in America less likely.
Pity the 'Boston bombers' hadn't been prevented from entering [and booted out as soon as Russia warned the US about them.]

Wouldn't have stopped them, either.

Keep going.

Would've, if the place they came from had been on Trump's list and his policy had been in place back then.
Many people think Trump's list is far too short.

Bambu's  "analysis" suggests the USA itself should be on "Trump's list."

Nah.
But terrorists are everywhere these days, ...hating us, plotting to blow us up, plotting to hack off our heads, etc.

Trump's list should be much longer.
More Gitmos need to be built.

The first metered taxi cab was introduced on this day...in 2007, in New York City.
Prior to this day the cabs were coloured red and green. After this day they were coloured yellow, for easier recognition.

1907, only missed by a century.

Americans are so lucky...when the killer terrorists start shooting and hacking off heads [as in London], the Americans can whip out their guns and shoot back!
Me, I'm not allowed to carry guns, so I'm just a sitting duck for the nasty terrorists.
The nasty terrorists have swords with which to hack me up, guns off all types with which to mow me down in the street or in my home, and bombs to blow off some or all of my limbs.

Donald trump understands, about terrorists...hence his immigration and travel bans

I did mean 1907.
My no 1 radio host told us early today.
Yes, if I meant 1907 then I should've typed 1907.


In 1907, following the collapse of the Electric Vehicle Company, horse-drawn cabs once again became a primary means of transport around New York City. In early 1907 Harry N. Allen, incensed after being charged five dollars ($131.32 in today's dollars) for a journey of 0.75 miles (1.21 km), decided "to start a [taxicab] service in New York and charge so-much per mile." Later that year he imported 65 gasoline-powered cars from France and began the New York Taxicab Company. The cabs were originally painted red and green, but Allen repainted them all yellow to be visible from a distance. By 1908 the company was running 700 taxicabs.[38]

Candice Broce, the press secretary for the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, told Rewire in an email that, “Inactive status does not prevent a voter from voting, and it does not make it more difficult to vote. No one is being removed from the rolls as part of the NCOA process. Contrary to the ACLU’s characterization of this process, it is no ‘purge.’”

Uh, that law suit was settled in February right before Kemp was gonna lose in court.

Don't confuse Kiid with the facts.

Among the facts he wants to ignore is the notion of "chilling effect."

It's like that middle school kid who flicks his finger an inch away from your eyeball.   Hey,  he's not touching you.   What's the problem?   Why should that bother you?

Kemp made his intent pretty clear with the "exact match"  policy.   And at fundraisers.

If you're actually that concerned about a terrorist hacking you up why not carry a gun? Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. You've got morality on your side and the law is an ass!

Take a sip of covfefe and chuckle as you recall that GOP is the self-anointed party of fiscal conservativism and deficit reduction.   Nothing from Redward on what happened to that pillar.
Self Annointed?
Since 2010 the GOP has gained about 1000 legislative seats across the country by winning  ELECTIONS !
In other words by winning the consent of the governed.

When the Democrats were spending like drunken sailors they were "socialist cocksuckers" according to our sage "teacher." Now when the Republicans are doing it, it's with the "consent of the governed." Scoreboard! Don't ever change, Red, you amoral stud. Your political hackery is first-rate.

Nice distortion of facts. Especially your use of words never uttered by me
Also a nice avoidance of election results.
Behave as usual.

Hey Red? You are a liar. Scoreboard! The Republicans' concern with fiscal responsibility is no longer operative because they are WINNING ELECTIONS. "Facts". This is why I laugh at you.

Heh. Another "wise" man heard from.  So now you're fine with deficits needed to pay for all that? As long as it's not a black guy or woman with that agenda you're good, right Kid?
